This 99.99% pure silver coin presents a breathtaking view of the northern lights, a luminous phenomenon that never fails to inspire awe. On the coin’s reverse, the 360-degree perspective pulls you into the night scene, where the surrounding forest—home to a secretive nocturnal hunter—frames your view of nature’s most dazzling celestial light display, which grows even brighter when viewed under a blacklight (included).

A 360-degree view of the northern lights—a hallmark of Canada’s great outdoors.

Features

• Vivid colours and blacklight technology. Thanks to a selective application of vibrant colour, the famous green, pink and purple hues of the aurora borealis fill the sky on your coin’s reverse, The colours are even brighter (and the night view, more realistic) when viewed directly under a blacklight (a blacklight flashlight is included with your coin).
• Classic Canada. The best opportunities for viewing the aurora borealis in Canada are on dark cloudless nights between September and April, and you need to be as far away from city lights as possible. But this coin brings the aurora borealis to you, so you can enjoy a sky-watching experience at any time and without leaving home.
• Pure silver. Your coin is impeccably crafted in 99.99% pure silver.
• Includes serialized certificate. The Royal Canadian Mint certifies all of its collector coins.
• No GST/HST.

Design

The reverse design by Canadian artist Alexandra Lefort features a view of the aurora borealis (also known as the northern lights) in the night sky above the Canadian wilderness. While a selective application of colour re-creates the ethereal green, pink and purple hues that form one of nature’s most breathtaking phenomena, the embedded blacklight technology amplifies those colours when activated by the flashlight (included). For a more immersive 360-degree perspective, a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and boreal forest—the home of the Great Grey Owl (Strix nebulosa)—is engraved around the edge, resulting in a more realistic night scene when viewed under the blacklight flashlight, with the towering treetops appearing as imposing shapes that rise up toward the colourful sky. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati.

Packaging

Your coin is encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded clamshell with a black beauty box.
